SLAVE FREE

The End Slavery Now Slave Free Buying Guide is meant
to introduce consumers to companies, brands and social
enterprises that address slavery, forced labor and human
trafficking in their supply chains. End Slavery Now
researched antislavery policies; supply chains; third-party
certifications; prevalence studies in specific industries;
and companies’ engagement surrounding slavery, forced
labor and human trafficking in order to develop a list of
products that you can begin purchasing in lieu of other
options.
At End Slavery Now we recognize that the best
companies are those that put ethical concerns and social
responsibility at the top of their agendas. Fortunately,
more and more companies care about broader social
issues, including the environment and poverty. For this
guide, we’ve narrowed our focus to companies, brands
and products that specifically address forced labor, slavery
and/or human trafficking. In addition to recommending
innovative brands that clearly lead the way when it
comes to prioritizing slavery-free goods, we’ve also
included traditional companies that are beginning to
produce specific goods or product lines without the use
of child labor, forced labor or other forms of slave labor.
Importantly, much of this recent antislavery effort by
traditional companies is a direct response to consumer
demands for such products. By highlighting some of the
best brands and the positive changes towards slavery-free
products, this guide is a tool for those wanting to choose
better products.
The End Slavery Now Slave Free Buying Guide is divided
into sections based on product type. Most sections
include:
• A brief explanation of slavery in that particular
industry or product chain
• Individual product recommendations, so you know
which products you can purchase
• Company rankings in Good, Better and Best
categories based on their antislavery policies, supply
chain transparency, third-party certifications and
engagement
One of the most impactful ways normal, everyday people
can get involved in the fight against modern-day slavery
and human trafficking is to begin purchasing slavery-free
goods. When scaled, these purchases create demand
for goods produced with audited, slavery-free labor;
simultaneously, this shift also shrinks the market for goods
produced with forced or slave labor and/or by trafficked
humans.
